I can't believe that it has been four years, since I moved to Fayetteville, Arkansas! These last four years FLEW by! I am so thankful to have had a family filled graduation weekend. So many family members drove to spend the weekend with me, including my brother, Xan, who drove 13 hours to surprise me yesterday! I have so many people who love and support me, and I am very blessed for each and every one of them! Thanks to everyone who came, who sent cards, and who sent their love to me yesterday! I appreciate you all!

My husband, the prankster...

This bottle has been sitting in Joe's bathroom for more than a month. I've seen it there but never bothered to pick it up or open it. Last night my throat was killing me, so I got up to get a drink. I walked into his dark bathroom and saw that water bottle. I picked it up and my shirt and my legs got soaked. I was confused so I did it again...and got soaked again. I didn't really know what was wrong, and I was not really awake, so I walked down the hall to my bathroom to get a drink. 

This morning he says, "So I see that you opened my water bottle." Still not realizing what he was up to, I explained how the weirdest thing happened. At that moment he falls to the floor dying laughing. Come to find out, he poked holes all through the bottle but the pressure with the bottle cap sealed keeps all the water in the bottle unless you squeeze it or open it! He has had that thing sitting there waiting to trick me with it for a month!

Never a dull moment at the Fugate house!
